since, i’m doing computer stuff for a professor of mine everyday, i find myself spending more time in front of the computer lately, which has increased blogging, but it won’t let me post them. eh, whatevs, there will be a flood rush of blogs someday soon.
i read on ben’s blog the fact that things are only rediculously stupid if you take them seriously. i know it’s over a month old, but, i guess i never really read it the first time around.
as a brother in the fellowship of stupid, i can say that taking things any more or less seriously will not decrease it’s aptitude for stupidity. for example, walking into a post that you see coming is stupid. running at it full bore is even stupider. but after running into it full bore and punching yourself in the head afterwards until you black out borders on rediculous.
but people will cram mcdonalds into their mouth day after day, not walk more steps than it takes to get to the car/refrigerator, or eat a diet that completley lacks carbohydrates.
but also people go to school, educate themselves, and spend countless hours at school to get a piece of paper that will get them a job that could have been much easier to get had they just known someone who liked them, and end up working in job that pays more money with which to live more rediculously.
people will dedicate their lives to the service of others, for little money, and lead rich and fulfilling lives, if it suits them.
people will believe in a religon only because it was handed down through family, and never question it because of the same reason. people who discover religion because everything else has abandonded them. some will even try and convince others, though they may not be convinced themselves.
people will lose themselves to drugs, sex, money, anything that gives them that sense of satisfaction, where anxiety and pain are not present. people can fool themselves so well that truth is a non-issue. people will give up on themselves, people will hate, people will love, and people will strive.
i tend to think of myself living through that guy who runs into a post full bore then proceeds to knock himself unconcious. my definition of stupid and rediculous gives me a sense of humor, along with whatever is done, someone is going to think it is rediculously stupid, giving it merit as something rediculous and stupid. and yet, the real underlying theme is “why?”
why would something like this exsist? why would someone do it like this? why would anyone think this is a good idea?
the underlying theme of our existance…why? it makes sense that so many things are rediculous and stupid because we can’t possibly fathom everything that happens in this world for what reason, especially with a set of beliefs that are molded through you for most of your life. plus, it’s easier to think in patterns and keep things the same, then to think outside of that pattern. sometimes impossible.
when i look at myself, i see the epitome of rediculous stupity. i am the biggest hypocrite that can write something but never act on it. i can question and never come to conclusions. i can observe what happens to others and not learn a damn thing from it. i can be free to live in the confines of this exsistance, and be grateful that i have something. this makes my life a comedy, and it varies from day to day.
because if nothing could be taken seriously, there wouldn’t be much dichotomy for stupidity.
